A smaller share of houses, a larger share of flats
Separate houses make up 71% of occupied homes in Wynnum, below the 75% across Queensland. Flats or apartments account for 16%, above the state's 12%, and townhouses, terraces or semi-detached houses for 13%, above 12%.
Wynnum's homes run to fewer bedrooms than Queensland's. 29% of homes have two bedrooms or fewer, above 22% statewide, while 33% have four or more, below the state's 39%. Three-bedroom homes make up 37%, the same as the 37% across Queensland, so the departure from the state sits in the smallest and largest homes, not the three-bedroom middle.
Repayments, rent and income all above the state
The median mortgage repayment in Wynnum is $2,167 a month, above $1,733 across Queensland. 35% of households are paying off a mortgage, above the state's 34%, and 28% own their home outright, below 29%. Median household income is $1,887 a week, above $1,675 statewide, which suggests higher household earnings than across the state.
35% of households rent, above 33% across the state, and the median rent is $400 a week, above $365. Of the renting households, 66% rent from a landlord the ABS records as a real estate agent, the same as the 66% across Queensland. On these figures, renting is more common here than statewide, while renting through an agent sits at the same share as the state.
Worked out on this page from the two medians, the median weekly rent equals 21% of the median weekly income of all households in Wynnum, renters or not. The same comparison gives 22% across Queensland, which places Wynnum below the state on this measure, even with its rent above the state's median.
Older residents
The median age in Wynnum is 43 years, above 38 across Queensland, which suggests an older population than the state's. At the 2021 Census, 14,036 people lived in the suburb of Wynnum, with 2.4 people in an average household, below the state's 2.5, which suggests fewer people sharing each home.
Among people aged five and over, 51% lived at the same address five years earlier, above 48% across Queensland. That one 2021 question, about where each person lived in 2016, tells where people were, not how long anyone has been there.
